This year is the Paris Olympic year, but for the Chinese five-a-side men's basketball team, it can be slightly embarrassing, especially when the three opponents in the same group of the World Cup, including the Serbia men's basketball team, the Puerto Rico men's basketball team and the South Sudan men's basketball team have successfully qualified for the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has become the only team in the group that has not qualified, but when the Olympic Games are about to start, the Chinese Basketball Association officially announced that Guo Shiqiang will officially serve as the coach, and the team will start preparing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Guo Shiqiang, as a domestic coach with appeal, and has led the Liaoning men's basketball team and the Guangzhou men's basketball team to achieve good results, and in the case of Djordjevic's failed coaching, the Basketball Association will not continue to choose foreign coaches in the successor, and Guo Shiqiang's role as the men's basketball coach is also a matter of course. In this summer's warm-up game, Guo Shiqiang led the Chinese men's basketball team to only 1 win and 10 losses, and the winning game was only won against the Macau Black Bears, and the use of Zhu Mingzhen, Gao Shiyan and others was also quite controversial.
After officially serving as the head coach of the men's basketball team, his first small test will be on November 21 and November 23 against Guam men's basketball and Mongolia men's basketball respectively, and the two teams are strictly Asian weak teams, for the Chinese men's basketball team, on the one hand, to win, and on the other hand, to let the outside world see the vitality and vitality of the new Chinese men's basketball team. After all, the team is going to make a big change, and it is the official debut of the Chinese men's basketball team led by Guo Shiqiang, which needs the youth power of the younger generation, and in the face of two Asian weak teams, there is no doubt that it is a platform for full display.
The two games will also be broadcast live on CCTV, and after winning the two games, the Chinese men's basketball team will directly qualify for the men's Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia in 2025, and the 2017 World Cup and the 2018 Olympics may be a bit far away. So the Asian Cup is not a good platform, and I also look forward to the new Chinese men's basketball team being able to play well under the coaching of Guo Shiqiang.
